Irish is a USP for Iveragh. Many people in Ireland know that there is a Gaeltacht area here and that it is a beautiful place to spend a holiday.
1.7 million Irish people speak Irish, 65,000 students in Ireland attend Irish-medium schools and their parents are proud of them and do their best to support them. There are over 100 centers in the United States where Irish is learned and 1.1 million people worldwide are learning Irish with duolingo.
A study by Brí Uíbh Ráthaigh on Irish-speaking visitors to South Kerry, from Ireland and abroad, shows that the Gaeltacht factor is very important when choosing South Kerry to come here on holiday.
